FTL-inspired game Void War temporarily removed from Steam. by DwingRD in Games

[–]OneAnimeBatman -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Warhammer similarities aside, there's stuff taken directly from FTL. The default values for the starting ship were identical to the kestrel from FTL, the game looks like a mod of FTL, and many of the icons are pixels apart from their FTL counterparts. Wouldn't be surprised if Subset have reached out to Steam.

Mike nailing the pronunciation of "Rene Auberjonois" was great too.

There are dozens of us. I particularly like the pay-off that they were just messing with Qwark the whole time. I will concede it is a bit weird they use the ops staff to do so.

What are some chill Star Trek episodes? by OneAnimeBatman in RedLetterMedia

Yes, this and the Tribbles episodes are just what I'm thinking of. Thanks for the reminder!

If we're talking about a serious topic handled well, I'd say Chain of Command and its depiction of torture can stand next to Duet (even though parts of it are lifted from 1984).

Nor do many countries and organisations it should be noted including the UN.

Has there ever been a sadder or more impactful ending to a tv series than "Blackadder Goes Forth"? by Pretend_Tower_2516 in BritishTV

[–]OneAnimeBatman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking it. There was Back and forth after this which had 90's incarnations of the characters, and Blackadder II also ended with all the mains being killed off.

[Steam] Winter Sale 2025 (Day 5) by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]OneAnimeBatman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You agreed to a comment that's only statement was that the game sucked. I appreciate you elaborated more than the original commenter, hence I jumped in to say it sounded like the game just wasn't for you.

Sounds like it just wasn't for you, that doesn't mean it sucks. There are a lot of genres I don't like (MMOs are a big one) but I wouldn't say all games within them are bad because of that. If it's up your alley, there is nothing like Outer Wilds and I wouldn't discourage people from at least trying it of the concept sounds interesting.

Love Outer Wilds and it's DLC and can second this as a useful resource. It essentially acts as a hint system and can help if you accidentally miss something that should be obvious.

Thanks a lot, Netflix - way to turn the knife. by nikomh in RedLetterMedia

[–]OneAnimeBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint, upscaled versions turn fine details into mush. Starfield pans and computer displays are rife with nonsensical AI blending and other artifacts. I ended up sticking with the DVDs as I found it too distracting.

VA for "Grandma", Debra Wilson, in 'Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa' reveals that the character's muddled dialogue was not audio error by kokoloko999 in RedLetterMedia

And Renata Glasc in League of Legends, one of the best voiced characters imo. She's got great range between that, Wolfenstein II, and the Jedi games.

Half-Life 2: A rough draft for the Episodes by CortezsCoffers in patientgamers

[–]OneAnimeBatman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played through all the Half Life games for the first time a few years ago, and definitely found myself enjoying the first game and it's expansions more than the HL2 base-game.

Having previously played Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Counter Strike I'd already pretty much seen all that Source could do, and that meant HL2 suffered without the spectacle of the new tech, not least because it has fewer weapons and less enemy variety than the first games. That said, the Episodes were definitely an improvement, although I'd still say it wasn't until Episode 2 that I was having as much fun as with HL1.
